Iran Urges Materialization of All Palestinian Rights
TEHRAN (FNA)- Iran on Tuesday renewed its full support for the Palestinian cause, and reiterated that settlement of the ongoing conflict in the Middle-East depends on a full materialization of the Palestinians' rights.
Speaking to reporters about Iran's latest Mideast policy during a weekly press briefing here in Tehran on Tuesday, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ramin Mehman-Parast said, "As regards the rights of the Palestinian nation and their plan for achieving their goals, our country's official policy certainly includes extending united and integrated support to the Palestinian nation's rights."
"As long as all these rights are not materialized, the problems of the region and the Palestinians will not be resolved," he noted, but meantime added that the Palestinian people have a long way to go before they can achieve their goals.
The comments come after US President Barack Obama made a televised speech on Thursday, where he warned Palestinians that they would not gain independence by denying the Israeli regime the "right to exist," claiming that efforts to "de-legitimize Israel" would fail.
Obama also called on Israel to pull back to the borders that existed before the 1967 Six-Day War, calling those lines militarily "indefensible."
The US had previously endorsed the concept of a Palestinian state, but not the demand for permanent pre-1967 borders, with mutually agreed land swaps.
Following Obama's speech, a senior leader of the Palestinian Hamas movement said Washington's recent move on the Middle-East conflict serves the interests of the Zionist regime of Israel, and underlined that the US President's call for a Palestinian state based on the 1967 borders won't materialize.
"Everyone knows the US moves have always been in the interests of the Zionist regime and the recent speech of US President Barack Obama is no exception to this rule," Khalil Abu Laila told FNA on Sunday.
Meantime, after Obama's speech at the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), Israel's Education Minister Gideon Sa'ar welcomed Obama's clarification about the role of the 1967 borders in the peace talks, saying the American president's tone and phrasing at AIPAC on Sunday - unlike during his Mideast policy speech (on Thursday)- "were much more convenient, from our point of view."
